"I am Legend" Movie

1. watched with Wei Hao last night at PS. felt bad that i din watch the rat show with him last year. so decided to watch a movie with him.
2. bought the tix at $6.50 :)
3. movie was great! made me think alot and i had alot of thoughts about it though not as much as The Island. esp the character Anna and her words hit me v hard
4. mentioned in the movie is this: God is still here and in the situation no matter how bad it is (made me think abt my job and it served as a good reminder that God is sovereign--in control of any situation)
5. biggest hit on me: Turn down the world's volume and listen to His voice. it hit me lyk a nail. esp relating to my irregular QT and my focus/sensitivity/concentration on Him. well, this phrase isn't new to me so it took on a v strong meaning when i heard it in the movie
6. "bring light to the dark"
7. "bring him home safely to us..." that was the prayer of the mum when she and the daughter had to leave on a helicopter. a few seconds later, they met a crash and died. really going home..to another home..
8. in an emergency evacation, why should the high-ranking officials' families be given priority to go off? Why no equality?
9. well, wei hao let me hold his arm throughout the movie esp during the scary parts. discussed abt it b4 the show. haha. so me being me who's scared at every jump, that's wad i did.
10. i used only one hand to hold his elbow. then, i used the other hand to either cover my mouth frm screaming or to cover my eyes. haha.
11. i really dun wanna see the looks of the zombies lest i get nightmares. so most of the time, i ended up closing my eyes. missing quite a portion at the climax but i still get the story. scary. but glad got his reassurance at the very climax :) thanks man! din expect it..
12. i also found out why there is a mention of "butterfly" at the climax and why the director put "Shrek" movie inside too. it really reflects well wad is going on
13. plus, when i asked jia wen if the grenade is really powerful and why will smith had to sacrifice himself, jia wen jus said that it's to make the movie title: I am Legend. haha. well, interesting. but i stil think there's a flaw in that logic there
14. and so interesting. the leader of the zombies can actually lead and set traps and had brains. hmm. i tot they were not supposed to have brains. and quite sad that the dog died so fast...aww...

Night-out at PS

1. after the movie, went to spotlight to look at cloths
2. headed to G2000 again. there is a sale! so went to take a look at the collar shirts!
3. had wei hao's opinions on 2 shirts. glad he was there! in the end, bought one nice working shirt for $19. after 40% off
4. had his company all the way to bus stop. thanks.
5. reached home quite late though. bleah. but glad mum din say i have bad taste for buying the shirt.
6. a great night-out! but also tirin since it was after work

JTC job

1. had a great and fun-to-hang-out-with colleague: JIA WEN!! he's also a temp and started work on the same day as me
2. 21 years old this year and from YJC. had 3As!!!! for the same subjects that i take: chem, phys and maths. wah! he's v pro la. he applied to NUS Science. when i asked him abt overseas uni, he said he wun apply. no wants. wah. but it'll be such a perfect and great results to get into any overseas uni and scholarships! haha. anyway, it's his choice and i respect it! i hope he'll enjoy his course when uni starts
3. he's a really nice guy. makes me laugh alot. he keeps crapping n laming arnd. haha. not cold jokes but really jokes--twisting words arnd. lyk today's: "then i'll say you are goin to the summit..summit of getting sacked". lol. actually summit means the HQ of JTC JE.
4. he also can make fake dimples! so cute! then, he jus started teaching me hokkien words! yay! at least i know more so i can truly call myself a hokkien
5. it's nice to have his company. share a working cubicle with him. i dun really wanna sit separately cos i'll be v bored. no one to tok to. so you can guess who toks alot: me! haha.
6. i'm working at JTC Kallang now. not the JE branch. soon after CNY we'll move there! yay! can't wait. it'll be so much nearer to my hse and i wun be late so often. haha.
7. job scope: doing things lyk filing, matching docs, photocopying, printing etc. boring. and i really dun learn much. really sad abt it. compared to my work at Regional Hardwares. but for one thing i'm thankful for: wei hao's advice to me--to see things in a better light and perspective. to take work as an enjoyment and see all the sai kang as something better. for that, I'm always grateful to God for him! =) grateful to God for jia wen too! "matching puzzle". haha. i lyk that! :)
8. when i went to the office, i got a big shock! most of the guys there are as old as daddy! seriously! most of them can be my dad la! lyk 50 plus. makes me sigh. they look so beat and worn-out. why muz the govt make them work until such an old age? sigh. i know. all the "younger ones goin overseas to work", "not enough ppl to support the company so raise retirement age" etc. but sigh. really hurts me la
9. i lyk Ms Leong! she's very nice! lyk a mother to me! always smiling and speak to me so nicely and sweetly. treating me equal! love you!
10. another colleague: monica. she's very young. i think a fresh graduate? i dunno but i lyk her hairstyle! suits her v well. haven't gotten a chance to tell her yet! soon!
11. today was really lyk nothing to do. for 3-4 hours. literally. there was no work given. i ended up reading newspaper all the way from main section to Life skipping Money and Classified. ha. so free. then tok to jia wen and played bingo with him. haha. was writing a bit of my personal statement too!

Evaluation Tests

1. so i took the evaluation test on tue night. my first one. was studying last minute for it
2. so when i went there, i was surprised to find no keyboard nor mouse! then the examiner said that we can start and so i started to freak out! i looked arnd and then realised that it's touch-screen. haha. funny
3. but when i saw the first qn, i blanked out. i din noe how to answer
4. there after, it was downhill for me esp with 3-5 qns on the video asking abt "give way" qns. crazy. but at least i knew the traffic police signs! i purposely studied it and realised a pattern! :) couldn't ans the blind spots qns with full confidence
5. in the end, that night, I failed!!! falied by 1 mark! it totally makes me feel horrible. i felt really sad
6. then, went home that night and checked the BBDC account to see if there's any luck of getting a slot the nxt morning
7. and really thank God for His grace! He gave me 3 choices! 3 time slots! i was so happy! i quickly booked it for the morning. rang jia wen up and told him i wun be in the office till late morning. really thank God cos if i dun pass the evaluation test 14 days b4 my actual theory test, the test will be cancelled. and the nxt date will be in march which is pretty late. so really thank God!
8. so studied hard for it with wei hao calling at night to advise me and revise with me on the phone! :) thanks! it really helps. but it was quite late already. i was quite tired. but thank God, i still had the strength the nxt day
9. so went BBDC to take the test and I PASSED! yay! thank God once again! i was so happy!
10. actually, the test that morning was much easier than the prev night! so much easier or is it cos i study harder? i dunno. but i was quite confident when i was checkin thru. i passed making only 3 mistakes! :) got 96%! thank God! and thanks to Wei Hao too! =))
11. so i'm off for the theory test on 23 Jan! :)

QT

1. well, it still has been lyk so-so. i know i gotta do something abt it. it's less of having a fix timing cos i know i can never get that with going-outs on-and-off. so it's a matter of my heart/passion and thirst for God. a prayerful life too
2. esp since that movie i watched last night said the first 2 pointers which hit me so SO hard! well, i'm glad it did. shock me up!
3. wanna share with you these pointers. one colour represent one point: What's at the center of our attention is what has us. God loves us enough to accept us as we are but He loves us too much to leave us that way (Philippians 1:6). Nothing is so revelant as the eternal (Ps 73). Attack problems not people (Matt 5:43-44). To change, we must want something else more than what we now have (Jer 29:13). Live for what you will not regret when you die (Matt 16:26). The secret of abundance is found not in what we have but in what we enjoy and are thankful for (Philippians 4). Fear God--not to run from Him, but to Him (Provbs 1:7, 9:10). We can learn more from our critics than our admirers (Provbs 27:6, Ps 141:5). "When I am in the presence of God, it seems profoundly unbecoming to demand anything" (F. Schaeffer) (Luke 22:42).
4. I dunno which one speaks to you the most but the first one did to me! it's so true! wad is in the center has my attention. i guess tat's why i'm always restless and unsettled with my QT. is God in the center of your attention, sharon? something to think about for you ppl too!

5. to someone: hmm. i dunno if there's bad blood btw the 2 of us now because of that event. but i dun want to do things that go against my conscience. not that i dun wanna be strong or ignore you...really. sometimes i do see things from your point-of-view but my conscience pricks me more if i do wad you want me to. i'm sorry. to be honest, i was torn in two too. on one hand, i felt that i shld be there to watch over you. on the other hand, i felt that i shouldn't do it for i dun wanna be an encourager of wad's bad for you..ahh..sigh. nevertheless, if you still do go, stay safe!
